ACCORDING TO A RECENT SURVEY “Creativity as a Skill for Innovation in the US Workforce” which was co-sponsored by Americans for the Arts and the Conference Board, both school superintendents and business executives agreed that creativity is of increasing importance in the workplace. More than 90% of the superintendents surveyed agreed that the best ways to develop creativity in our high schools are through creative writing, music, dramatic arts and studio arts; and yet in most schools these courses of study are only available as an elective, not as a required course. So are our students adequately preparing themselves for a world where creativity is a critical skill businesses are looking for? Elective or required, Martin County Schools have valiantly kept the arts, in its many forms, available to students at all grade levels. I hear time, and time again, from people in the workplace how their arts background helps them to succeed today… and this is not just from working artists or musicians, but from business owners, engineers, salespeople and more. Creative people think with both sides of their brains. Share with us – tell us where you developed your ability to think creatively on Facebook… let’s help each other have a more creative 2013!

Doug JewettDOUG JEWETT MOVED TO MARTIN County to become Minister of Music at North Stuart Baptist Church in 2001. He has a bachelor’s degree in Music Theory and a master’s degree in Choral Conducting. He will receive his doctorate in Education this May. Jewett was honored by the Arts Council with the Outstanding Performing Artist mARTies Award in 2010. In 2003, Jewett saw a need for community enrichment in music and he formed the Treasure Coast Community Singers, (TCCS) whose goal is “to keep people singing”, and is celebrating it’s 10th year. TCCS, a 501(c)(3) organization, has grown from a handful of singers to a 140 member organization with five distinct performing groups. The Community Choir is open to all who enjoy singing and its repertoire includes old favorites, patriotic and
inspirational music. The Classical Choir is designed for singers with the ability to read music and have knowledge of music theory.

These groups are available to perform at community events, organization meetings and club parties. The newest addition to TCCS is the Children/Youth Choir for students in grades 3 to 12 who love to sing. Jewett plans to create a nonprofit 4-year Fine Arts College with bachelor’s degree programs for dance, art, theater and music. “There is a tremendous support system for our youth in gaining experience in all of the arts, right here in our county. Let’s educate them here and create an arts-centered community of which we can all be proud.” His
plans are in the beginning stages but expects to recruit students for the fall semester of 2014. Other local artists are already engaged to recruit and to teach these students. Part of the plan is to
create a performing arts center that is acoustically designed to enhance music and to utilize the creative efforts of the faculty and students in presenting college and community performances of all types. For more informa-tion about the col-lege and how you
might be involved, contact Doug at 772-485-7432 or email [email protected].

HANK HAS BEEN A MEMBER OF the arts community since his high school days in Jacksonville, Florida. Back in the 60’s he put together a successful group called The Coachmen. You may have heard them play at last year’s ArtsFest. Hank feels that the arts “define a civilization” and that all of us should support them. He has certainly followed his own advice. Through College and the military he was involved in the arts. He was a founding member and served on the board of the Spotlite Players of Palm Beach Gardens. He serves as the Chairman of the Board for The Young Singers of the Palm Beaches. As a member of the board for The Arts Council his duties have included being production stage manager for the Dreams concert in 2011, the entertainment chair for ArtsFest 2012 and a co-chair of ArtsFest 2013. And soon you can see Hank onstage in 9 to 5 at StarStruck Theatre. A renaissance man!

PAINTING HER WAYSIX WELL KNOWN TREASURE COAST PAINTERS have come together to present us with an astounding show at the Court House Cultural
Center Galleries. Their combined higher education, hard work and years of experience
have paid off in an exhibition which displays Florida in all its glory, plus many other
sites: Maine, North Carolina, the Bahamas, in addition to portraiture.
By Petey Cox
THEY BRING TO THIS EXHIBITION EXHUBERANCE, LOVE OF subject and expertise honed of years of work. They have explored oil painting,
water color, sculpture, pastel - every media available, to bring us their very best. We
are fortunate to be recipients. The Arts Council of Martin County is proud to present
this group of Treasure Coast artists who love living here and show us from their point
of view what they are seeing every day. Kim Rody captures the vitality of fish and other
tropical wildlife. Shelia Geoffrion gives us her abstract-expressionist interpretations
of the forests and fields. Marcelle Zanetti’s paints exuberant florals and Chris Kling’s
remarkable portraits provide a slice of time. Aida Fry has experimented with the fresco
techniques and color explorations. René Guerin has specialized in contemporary
Florida landscapes and figurative works.
The Arts Council of Martin County is proud to present this group of outstanding

“Nancy Tilles’ “Infinity” will grace our merchandise this year as a way for us to
“Speak Up for the St. Lucie”
Commemorative Limited EditionPrint Artist Named
Talented veteran artist, Nancy Tilles, has been named the ArtsFest 2013 Commemorative Print Artist. This year we are offering the 2013 ArtsFest Print as a collectible giclée with ArtsFest Certification. The image will depict marine-life, a favorite subject for Tilles and of utmost importance to our community. The artist has been commissioned numerous times throughout her career by Florida venues to create scenes depicting our marine life.
Improved ArtsFestAmmenities The ArtsFest official site will be tweaked a bit to provide more areas for patrons to meander through the park and enjoy the over 150 Artists plus the many vendors and sponsors on site! There will also be more shade for patrons, as well as areas to sit and relax. The Kids Area will be larger and more of a focal point of ArtsFest.
Enhanced Kids KreARTivity Korner
This year ArtsFest will feature the Kids KreARTivity Korner, an interactive area for children (and adults!) to touch, feel and participate in the Arts personally. This area will feature numerous FREE hands-on activities and components for families to enjoy - most themed around local artist Janeen Mason’s Ocean Commotion: Caught in the Currents.
Artist Demonstration Area This year ArtsFest’s guests will have the opportunity to participate in on-going workshops led by actual artists throughout the day. Try a medium you’ve always wondered about while getting expert instruction in a beautiful setting and you can leave with your own signature piece!
The ArtsFest Patron Program Back by popular demand and in its second year, The Patron Program is a great way to experience ArtsFest as a VIP with preferred parking and complimentary access to the VIP Area. You are also guaranteed an art purchase on-site and will be supporting the Arts Council of Martin County at the same time! For $350.00 each Patron receives a Preferred Parking Pass and Access for Two to the VIP Tent as well as $250.00 in ArtsFest Dollars to purchase art on-site.
Somethings Will Never Change at ArtsFest
The two day event will again feature 150 Juried Visual Artists from around the country. These artists are the best of the best. The Celebration of the Arts will also feature live entertainment with two stages at the event for performances. Entertainment at one end will all be family-oriented and the Main Stage will feature local and regional performers for all to enjoy. As always, ArtsFest will feature delicious food and drinks for all to enjoy. ArtsFest is the perfect place to enjoy the day with lots of family fun! The setting is beautiful and charming along East Ocean Blvd. and Memorial Park.
ArtsFest wouldn’t be possible without the ongoing support of our community. Corporate sponsors, vendors, the City of Stuart, committee members and literally hundreds of volunteers plan all year for ArtsFest. These years ArtsFest Co-Chairs are area business men, Hank Gonzalez and Matt Hollister. “We’re confident this year’s ArtsFest will be outstanding”, says Nancy Turrell, Executive Director of the Arts Council of Martin County. “The ArtsFest Committee has everything in place and the leadership Hank and Matt have provided has been excellent.”

LAST FALL, THE ARTS COUNCIL AND ITS MOST CELEBRATED donors witnessed the unveiling of the “Jewels of the Arts” recognition wall. As ex-ecutive director Nancy Turrell stated during the presentation: “A jewel is a piece of mineral which, in cut and polished form, is a beautifully refined example of what the earth has to offer. This concept is in keeping with the role private philanthropy has played in the Arts Council of Martin County’s development … our jewels - our donors - have polished us into a great organization serving the arts community and our residents!”
THE JEWELS OF THE ARTS RECOGNITION IS PRESENTED TO donors who have cumulatively given in excess of $10,000 to advance the Council’s or the Arts Foundation of Martin County’s mission. Located in the central hallway of the historic Court House Cultural Center, this new installation is a stunning tribute to the private individuals and corporations who have support the arts over the past 30 plus years.

WOMEN SUPPORTING THE ARTS announces the recipients of their 2013 grant cycle. This year grants totaled $17,215 and will support 16 projects coordinated by local organizations and artists all designed to enhance the arts community of Martin County with $1,000 set aside in a growing fund dedicated to a future public art project. “As it has been each year, it is a very challenging but also very rewarding exercise to review the applications for funding and learn about the organizations and artists who are working to bring new and exciting arts programming to our community. Our funds are limited, and we can only spend what we have received in donations from our members, so the difficult decision to prioritize the requests,” stated Mary Ann Loomis, WSA co-chair. Women Supporting the Arts (WSA): WSA is a women’s donor circle and is affiliated with the Arts Foundation of Martin County. The members offer grants to support arts enhancement opportunities for Martin County artists and arts-related projects, programs, scholarships and internships, annually. Since 2004, more than $176,000 in grants have been awarded to artists and arts-related programs by WSA. Membership is open to any woman who is interested in making an annual contribution of $1,000 or more. More information can be found at www.martinarts.org.

Elliott Museum
WHEN THE DOORS OF THE new Elliott Museum opened to the public on March 3rd it was the result of over six years of commitment and work by the Board of Directors, state and local officials, donors, volunteers and members. After packing up over 28,000 historical objects, tearing down the old “pink lady”, conducting a $19.2 million dollar capital campaign, erecting a new building, and envisioning a plan to bring the Elliott on par with renowned regional and national museums -- the doors are finally open. The opening exhibit, Leonardo da Vinci Machines in Motion, is a dramatic hands-on display of 40 full-size machine replicas made directly from Leonardo’s innovative designs and drawings – this is the first time the exhibit has appeared in Florida. In the years to come the Elliott will be showcasing prominent traveling exhibits like Leonardo. In the fall, after the completion of the Leonardo exhibit, the Kiplinger Galleries and the Elliott Legacy Galleries will be open.
